Who is Clara Bozzo?
Clara Bozzo is Nicolina’s mother figure. Many viewers mistook her for her mother during last nights episode, but she is in fact her grandmother.
Nicolina was born to her father Dave Bozzo and her mother who is unknown on the 30th of May 2003. It has been noted that Nicolina’s mother walked out on them at a young age.
Clara is extremely supportive of everything Nicolina has achieved. This wasn’t the first time Nicolina dedicated a song to her Nonna, as her ‘Hallelujah’ performance was also in honor of her, as she had recently undergone chemotherapy.

Clara has stepped up to the role for Nicolina, as she explained on the show, telling viewers:
“My Nonna has definitely been one of the biggest role models in my life. She’s always taught me to be strong, be confident.”
During a phone call with Clara, Nicolina told her that she couldn’t imagine going through the American Idol journey without her by her side. She even said that she doesn’t think she would be on the show doing what she loves without her Nonna’s love, support and guidance.

She has referred to Dave as “the best dad out there”. He is also on Instagram, where he claims in his caption that he is a “Proud Papa to 3 beautiful and amazing girls.”
Most of Dave’s Instagram posts consist of Nicolina’s singing, including clips of her on the radio and numerous of her TikTok videos.
